e plans for the Chase property do not fit RP zoning because of limited heights. It would be necessary to apply for variances on part of the property. Therefore, they requested a limited commercial use zoning for the Chase property. John W. Alltucker, 3000 Delta Highway North, said that since 1960, it has been their desire that the gravel ponds be saved for public use. Since 1962 they have worked with the Fish and Game Commission allowing the ponds to be open to the public while they paid the taxes on the land. Two months ago, the City said they wanted to buy the land. The staff had suggested origin- ally a C-2 zoning for the area of land close to Valley River Center. He requested first a delay on parcel No.2 to see if they can work out the C-2 zoning instead of the residential zoning, and second, a delay to work out the sale of land for parks. Ellis A. Jones, 1030 Coburg Road, opposed annexation of Parcel No.2 unless they could be assured of sewer lines. He said annexation had been overturned by the Boundary Commission previ- ously because the City could not provide a full range of services. He noted that four years ago the residents had been told that sewers would be available imminently. He objected to being taxed for services not received. Margaret Holemar, 1040 Valley River Way, was upset by the proposed e annexation of Island No. 3 without provision for sewer service. She felt the City of Eugene would not and could not provide $89 million more dollars to have sewers installed in the area. She noted her family's long-standing desire to help the City by providing bike paths, water main easements, and small parcels of land. She said her taxes will jump from $2,000 to $20,000 with the proposed zone change. Oscar Krumdieck, 411 Spyglass, submitted a letter concerning Tax Lot 808, which has RP zoning. He felt changing the zoning was not good planning. Tax Lots 807 and 1001 have apartments. Tax Lot 808 could be split, but in the western portion he has developed plans for an office structure. He had previously agreed to annexation in order to obtain a building permit. However, he felt that annexation without services was premature. The public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. Mr. Saul, in answer to the testimony, said that since 1967, a~ the written material indicates, the Chase property has been a point of disagreement between the County, which adopted the Willakenzie Plan and zoned the property for commercial use, and the City of Eugene. Referring to the written material, Mr. Saul noted that, with the adoption of the interim Willakenzie Plan and - the 1990 Plan, the City indicated multiple-family or professional 7/9/79--3 3~1
